Push email through wifi

---

I am wondering whether push email is functioning through wifi on the prophet? I have wifi coverage over my city, and would prefer it then getting billed for GPRS...

Push Email client from Microsoft will not work over WiFi, it is meant to generate business for mobile providers :)

But Siemens and other mail server solutions companies offer push email over WiFi for WiFi Providers - but I think no one is offering it yet.

Note: Be carefull with push email over GRPS. Depending on individual settings this can generate a lot of traffic without downloading a single email. One engineer told me about 15 megs traffic just for polling the Exchange server, without downloading a single email. Of course you can work out conservative settings, but better get a GPRS or UMTS data flat...25 euros here in Germany (www.base.de) :)

Are you 100% sure of this?

Microsoft's implimentation of Push e-mail uses HTTP(S) so therefore should not be limited to the transport unless the implimentation is restricted on the device in some way?

All the information I have totally contradicts your statement, can you please justify it can as I fear it is absolutely incorrect.

Dear, I don´t have to "justify" anything. Do your own research, ask Microsoft MSDN like I did, and then write about it. Enjoy.

PS: The original question was - as I understood it: Can MS push email client for Mobile 5 work over WiFi.

Why you do not use POP3/SMTP or IMAP through WiFi ?

Thanks guys

Thanks Lucas, I think that pretty much answers my question.

Cheers.

You can setup a schedule like i did in activesync to poll email over wifi every 5 min and disable push.

If you want to use gprs, then just change schedule to sync as new items arrive and enable push in comm manager

What happens when out of wifi range?

Jamichy, what happens if you go out of wifi range with your settings? Do you get an error message or something you then need to respond to each time you are out of range?

Usually, activesync will try to sync, but does not generate any notifications. If I launch activesync, it shows me the time of last sync with exchange server on top line.

If i leave push settings on, and connect to wlan, Activesync Generates an "Attention Required:To syncronise you need to have a cellular network connection" message...

So when I'm at home or work, i disable push, and on the road i keep push enabled. BTW, Direct push can work using both GPRS web and wap settings
